AWD75 Videos bring yet another video that shows domestic, import and exotic cars in action. First up, its Mr.TORQ vs Sergio's 7M Supra. Both cars are running well but unfortunately, due to breaking up of the spark plugs in Sergio's Supra, they manage to get only one clean-ish run in. Due to low weather temperature they couldn't hook at the start but still manage to get a super close run by Mr.TORQ edging Supra by half a car. Rematch between Sergio's Supra & Mr.TORQ will be coming soon... Second round was between Infamous McLaren vs Supercharged E92 M3. Even though Infamous McLaren is bone-stock, it ran pretty impressive against a car that put down 570whp.

A bunch of action in this video with the first runs showing stout stock bottom end Camaro on meth and race gas plus an F1A Procharger go up against a built motor MKIII Supra on E85 and 33 psi of boost courtesy of a Precision 6766 turbocharger. The cars are pretty evenly matched and somewhere in the 8XX wheel horsepower range. The second set of runs show a stock MP4-12C against an ESS VT2 supercharged DCT E92 M3.

The Camaro and Supra are both in a different league regarding roll on performance than the MP4-12C and the supercharged M3. That said, the MP4-12C leaves the M3 in its dust. It really is not even a race. The McLaren is stock with the 616 horsepower factory map but even when the M3 is given the hit it's still easily destroyed.

Why the M3 owner would show up on pump gas without meth injection and a high boost pulley is anyone's guess. It just led to being embarrassed by bus lengths on video. If that M3 belonged to this writer that supercharger kit would already be off the car and listed for sale.

this cracked me up

I'd be angry. I was nice about that I'd be asking for a refund and fuming. There's forum dyno racing and then real world racing.

M3's got the horsepower but ain't got the torque down low and the Mc's got all the torque at the right places to pull bus lengths... Wonder what a similar power ST E92 335i would fare against it...

It would get handled just the same up top. Not in the same universe in terms of aerodynamics, that Mclaren is built to move air in a way that no E92 on earth is. Better gearing, better power band, better aero.

I think weight is the biggest advantage the McLaren has against any E90/E92. It's like 3,200lbs!

No it isn't and it sure does matter what compressor a car is running, what tuning, what boost, and what octane wtf are you talking about.

You know the platform better than I, but I’d imagine it would require a pretty heroic power advantage to stand a chance up top. The E9x chassis is just not about that supercar life from an aerodynamic standpoint, weight, downforce, you name it. The only potential advantage an M3 could have is power, if as you noted it’s a built motor setup.

I wouldn’t even consider an N54 powered car against the Mclaren. Not in the same ballpark.

The S65 is built for the top end so that's why a person mentioning low end torque in a top end race that is all about power is idiotic anyway especially if you starting at the right RPM and gear. I've never seen the N54's 'torque' do anything against a supercharged M3 in a roll on.

The problem here isn't enough power. A pump gas blower on low boost without meth isn't going to cut it, period. That car isn't trapping 130 and considering a stock McLaren can do about 133... well.

Can you show me a video showing a stock motor, supercharged E9x M3 beating an MP4?

Only one I've seen is an M5Board video of another VT2-625 getting dusted by an MP4, and then Drew's VT3-750 beating an MP4. STOCK MP4s (Not Software Update) are putting down 6.6 60-130s, "record" stock motor kits are running 6.8+
